Bug#917700: RM: dimbl -- ROM; ROM, abandoned upstream (was: Re: Bug#917700: dimbl: FTBFS: build-dependency not installable: libtimbl4-dev)
user debian-rele...@lists.debian.org usertag 917700 + bsp-2019-01-nl-venlo thanks Hi Balint, Since Maarten "proycon" van Gompel--a collegue of your dimbl comaintainer Ko van der Sloot--told me he expects no new upstream release of dimbl, I feel it's best to ask for dimbl's removal from testing and unstable. Is that OK with you? Thanks, Bye, Joost Subject: RM: dimbl -- ROM; ROM, abandoned upstream Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi, Please remove dimbl from both testing and unstable: no new upstream release is expected. Debian's users are better served without dimbl in the upcoming stable release. See also https://bugs.debian.org/917700 "FTBFS: build-dependency not installable: libtimbl4-dev" for some discussion.

Bug#917700: dimbl: FTBFS: build-dependency not installable: libtimbl4-dev
Package: dimbl Followup-For: Bug #917700 User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu disco ubuntu-patch Hello, FWIW, no new upstream version is required in order to fix this build failure, it's a trivial change to debian/control to drop the versioned -dev package names leaving only the unversioned ones. I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu to fix the bug there. But since there is a comment suggesting that this may not be worth maintaining in Debian and should be removed, I have not uploaded an NMU. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Hi Maarten (upstream), Is there no new upstream release expected? If so, I guess indeed it would be best to drop it from Debian.

Hi Lucas, We're going to let this package get autoremoved, it's hardly used anyway and not worth the effort to maintain.
